With Christmas less than a week away, it's time to get pumped and anticipate all that is to come -- a delicious feast, holiday carols, office parties (free food!), family bonding, and presents galore! There's a reason it's called the most wonderful time of the year and personally I can't wait any longer to get the festivities in motion. So in the spirit of the gift-giving season, the editors of Hollywood.com thought it would be fun to decide what our favorite celebrities should get each other for Christmas. And with their insanely hectic schedules, I'm sure they'll be grateful for our help.
Gwyneth Paltrow Should Give Martha Stewart Her Cook Book
When she’s not acting, Gwyneth Paltrow spends her time writing on her website, GOOP, which gives us strict instructions on what to “make,” “go,” “get,” “do,” “be” and “see.” It guides us and teaches us how we can live more luxurious lifestyles, and Paltrow writes her newsletters under the impression she’s doing the world a big nice favor by helping everyone experience life the way she does. However, at times it seems like she doesn’t realize how few of us actually care which kind of cashmere is the best kind (and how useless a lot of her expertise really is), and so I would have Gwyneth give her new cookbook, “My Father’s Daughter,” to Martha Stewart, so Martha Stewart can take one look at it and give Gwyneth one of her infamous “are you kidding me with this?” glances and Gwyneth can realize she should relax a little bit with all the making, going, getting, doing, being and seeing. – Hannah Lawrence
Anderson Cooper Should Give Donald Trump The Giggles
Anderson Cooper made headlines this year for succumbing to uncontrollable laughter during a segment of his show on CNN. Footage of the incident immediately went viral, and the idea of someone so respected in his field suddenly losing control of himself because of a joke that HE made was completely wonderful. It brought a little bit of joy back into our lives! And so this Christmas, I would have Anderson Cooper give Donald Trump a tape of his laughing breakdown because Trump really needs to relax a bit and stop complaining about everything so much. And I suspect just one dose of Cooper laughing for a good two minutes straight will be enough for Trump to decide to lighten his daily load a bit, and go back to just telling everyone how he graduated from the Wharton School of Business when he didn’t. – Hannah Lawrence
Rob Lowe Should Give Angelina Jolie His Friendship
Not only is Rob Lowe an exceptionally handsome man, but he's also an accomplished writer. Earlier this year, the actor wrote a memoir "Stories I Only Tell My Friends," which describes the highs and lows of his personal and professional lives in a compilation of stories that he -- you guessed -- only tells his friends. It's actually a really interesting read as far as autobiographies go and something I would recommend to anyone who wants to get to know Rob a little bit better. And since Angelina Jolie recently admitted she's sort of lacking in the friends department, I would have Rob give her a copy of his book for Christmas, as a way to make her feel more closely connected to someone other than Brad. I mean, if I understand the title correctly, once you read Rob's stories, you instantly become his friend, right? And since J-Aniston lovers still think she's to blame for the downfall of Jen's marriage to Brad, I'd say she could use all the friends she can get. And what better friend to have than good old Rob! – Kelly Schremph
Charlie Sheen Should Give Justin Bieber A Goddess
Everyone will remember 2011 as the year of Charlie Sheen's epic meltdown. Sure, there's the royal wedding and that whole Kim Kardashian joke of a marriage, but nothing compares to Sheen's career-destructing tirade. So for this Christmas, I would have Mr. Sheen give Justin Bieber the one thing he once held in such high regard: a goddess. A few months ago, Bieber experienced his first-ever paternity lawsuit, making the pop singer realize just how sneaky and untrustworthy some women can be. So the goddess would be a perfect way to remind him that not all women are bad. In fact, some are loyal, constantly nurturing and even somewhat heavenly (I guess). And maybe this transaction actually happening! It would explain why Charlie was tweeting at Bieber to call him a few weeks back, causing him to accidentally post his cell number to the social media site. They were just trying to schedule the goddess drop off location. Mystery solved! – Kelly Schremph
Daniel Craig Should Give Kris Jenner a Clue
The actor was quoted railing against The Kardashian family in the January issue of GQ. He said, “I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel. You can't buy it back. You can't buy your privacy back. 'Ooh, I want to be alone. 'F**k you. We've been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta, and now you want some privacy?” Jenner responded with a publicized cry for his immediate apology. Craig would certainly give Jenner a clue (if it was possible), and explain that just because your family is famous from one amply-bottomed daughter's sex tape with Ray J, doesn't mean you are safe from completely valid opinions from people who are actually famous for a craft. –Kelsea Stahler
Jon Hamm Should Give Henry Cavill Dapper Don Draper Style Tips
Many of us had hoped that Jon Hamm would land the role as Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel, but alas Henry Cavill will don the super suit. And while Cavill has no shortage of good looks or charm, he’s still quite British and Superman is a quintessentially American hero. While those angered at Cavill’s Britishness will have to deal with it, perhaps Hamm could give Cavill a leg up on winning over any dissenters by taking a book out of his Don Draper-esque style guide. We all remember Cavill as the sexy playboy alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ King Henry on The Tudors, but just imagine him waltzing onto the set of a Late Night show when Man of Steel hits theaters in 2013, promoting his latest role while looking like a modern day Don Draper. No one would be able to resist him. – Kelsea Stahler
Adele Should Give Demi Moore Her Album 21
Even though 21 debuted back in January, Adele continues to dominate 2011, picking up "Best of the Year" awards thanks to her soulful voice and collection of emotional tracks. The singer spun a bad break-up into music that people everywhere can't help but connect with—so much so, even the folks at Saturday Night Live owned up to their obsession. So what better way for Demi Moore to cope with her recent (and very public) divorce then a few uplifting jams courtesy of Adel?. Moore's never held back interacting with her fans and if there's anything the masses can relate to, it's the heartbreaking relatability of 21. – Matt Patches
RuPaul Should Give Kate Middleton Queen Advice
This year, the world fell in love with Kate Middleton, the daughter of former flight attendants who lived the real life fantasy of a Royal Wedding. While Middleton's a lovely lady with a keen fashion sense, I'd love to see her inject a little sass into the royal dealings when she becomes queen alongside her husband, Prince William. To help her out, I want RuPaul to package all the seasons of her show Drag Race into one how-to guide to school Middleton in what it takes to be a real queen. Boxing Day will never be the same. – Matt Patches
Tom Cruise Should Give Taylor Lautner the Keys to the Fighter Jet
Taylor Lautner is for all intents and purposes a young Tom Cruise. They're both handsome, always smiling, and, as far as the interviews lead us to believe, stuck somewhere between this world and one far, far away. So much does Lautner remind me of Mr. Cruise, that I think he should actually start taking the man's movie roles. Sure, he could ease into the mix by being Cruise's trainee in the next Mission: Impossible, or something like that. But I have a better idea: I think Tom should just give Lautner the keys to the fighter jet, prop the helmet on him, and call him Maverick. In other words, Tom should give Lautner his role in Top Gun. When they remake the movie...and obviously they're going to remake the movie...I think Tom should hand-write his recommendation for young Taylor Lautner to step in as the star of the film. Some might scoff at the idea, but it'd really be the next best thing to just...watching the original again. And maybe a little Robert Pattinson as Ice Man? No, no, that's going too far. – Michael Arbeiter
Hugh Jackman Should Give James Franco His Powers
In recent times, James Franco has made some unique choices in terms of what projects to take. From a role on General Hospital to teaching a class about himself, the young actor has made it very clear that he is striving to be a master of all fields, a creative visionary, the man who can do it all. But of course, this is impossible. No man on Earth has so much talent that he can excel at any task, no matter how extravagant or minuscule, no matter how commonplace or obscure. In short, nobody is perfect...except, of course, Hugh Jackman. There is literally--and I mean LITERALLY--nothing that Hugh Jackman can't do that wouldn't warrant a nationwide surge of applause immediately thereafter. And so, to the young ambitious Franco, who attempted to follow in Jackman's footsteps with a Hathaway-adjacent Awards Show hosting gig (albeit one that wasn't quite as celebrated), I implore Jackman to, at least for a little while, lend his powers away to Franco. Franco is a charming guy, and a good actor, but he longs to be so much more. You're the only one who can help him, Hugh. Just take some time off from serenading the gods, breathing life into the springtime and giving people everywhere a reason to get up in the morning. Give Franco your magical talents...just for a little while...and see how far he takes them. – Michael Arbeiter

I'm beginning to think all actors eventually reach a point in their careers where the desire to direct trumps the desire to act. It's unclear whether it occurs once they reach a certain age, or if the inclination manifests itself when movie role offers start to dwindle, but either way the transition is becoming more and more common among Hollywood stars -- and that the Matt Damon seems to be in the middle of it.
The 41-year-old star is set to make his directorial debut sometime next year, and says he decided to move behind the camera when he realized the filmmakers hold the power on set. Damon explains, “When I first started getting work, I felt like acting was the most important thing. But the more you do it, the more you realize that in the end, the director has all the power.” (Although I don't think anyone should tell the producers that, just FYI).
But the actor isn't underestimating the amount of work and dedication it's going to take to make his project a success, admitting, “There are just too many decisions over the course of too long a time, and if you’re not a truly great director, you just can’t hide." And while he's never directed before, Damon already knows who he hopes to emulate -- the directing/acting veteran, Clint Eastwood. Damon admires Eastwood's whole directing approach, saying, “Clint says all the time, ‘Let’s not f**k this up too much by thinking about it...That’s his approach, and some people love it and some people hate it, but he doesn’t do too much hand-wringing about it. I’d love to do what Clint does." I guess that means he'll be casting himself as the lead role in most of his movies then, right?
In all seriousness though, I think he could do a really great job as a director. He's done enough movies now to have an idea of how it all works and he's likeable enough so the cast and crew won't hate his guts by the film's end. Plus, he's Jason Bourne! So of course he's going to succeed.

Not even a full 24 hours after we learned Brett Ratner would no longer be producing the Oscars comes the news that Eddy Murphy has backed out of his hosting commitment. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences updated their website just a few moments ago to convey the news, and quotes President Tom Sherak as stating, "I appreciate how Eddie Murphy feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well." This suggests Murphy declined the gig because Ratner was no longer involved in it, and conveys that his allegiance remains with the Tower Heist director, despite the comment he made about how "rehearsing is for f*gs."
The site also reveals a statement Murphy apparently made, which reads, "First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party's decision with regard to a change of producers for this year's Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I'm sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job."

In one of the rare moments of levity to be found in J. Edgar, a solemn biopic tracing the rise to power of J. Edgar Hoover, the legendary and controversial head honcho of the FBI for much of the 20th century, Hoover’s mother (Judi Dench) reassures her son that he is not getting too bulky by insisting, “It’s nothing other than solid weight on a man.” What makes Mrs. Hoover’s comforting lie even funnier is the realization that the bulldog-faced man she is talking to is a character who just happens to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio, best known as the wispy, youthful dreamboat who helped Titanic plow through box-office records 14 years ago.
However, it would be unfair to pretend that DiCaprio’s transformation into the kind of mature leading man who could credibly step into Hoover’s impeccably polished dress shoes has happened overnight. The star has gained plenty of solid acting weight in the years since Titanic, due to an admirable interest in tackling psychologically dark roles for A-list filmmakers. His gallery of tortured anti-heroes includes the grief-consumed subconscious extractor in Christopher Nolan’s Inception; the disillusioned, argumentative suburban patriarch of Sam Mendes’ Revolutionary Road; and, of course, the mentally unstable protagonists of frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, The Departed, and Shutter Island.
With J. Edgar, the thrice-Oscar-nominated actor teams up for the first time with director Clint Eastwood, who guides DiCaprio through another characterization that doesn’t exactly beg for audience sympathy. The film follows Hoover from his early career triumphs of establishing the Federal Bureau of Investigation and putting an end to the reign of bank robbers like John Dillinger to his reputation-tarnishing, paranoia-fueled later years spent tapping the phones of radical figures such as Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to appease misguided suspicions of Communism.
Showing no similar signs of career decline himself, DiCaprio, who turns 37 years old this coming Friday (also, in a neat fluke of timing, the date J. Edgar opens nationwide), talked to us about Hoover’s notorious aversion to maintaining personal relationships, the real truth behind Eastwood’s fabled three-takes-only shooting style, and the particular environmental cause that is currently occupying his time away from the spotlight.
What attracted you to the J. Edgar script, written by Milk Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black?
I think the screenplay that Clint and I initially responded to by [Black] was a very fascinating portrait of this man, and I think all of us as actors were very fascinated with these characters that had devoted their [lives] to government service, and that meant not having any kind of personal life whatsoever. They were representations of the FBI. That was their church. And it’s a hard concept for me to wrap my head around, to completely sacrifice any sort of love in your life, to never experience that on a personal level.
What else about Black’s portrait of Hoover appealed to you?
What I was fascinated by was his take on entering J. Edgar Hoover’s career during a time of almost a terrorist invasion by Communists … and how J. Edgar Hoover really transformed the police system in America and created this federal bureau that, to this day, is one of the most feared and respected and revered police forces in the entire world. Of course, the story goes on to his later years, where he became this, in essence, political dinosaur who didn’t adapt to the changing of our country. The one thing that was prevalent throughout his entire career was his staunch belief that Communism was an evil thing, and he wanted to retain the fundamental principles of democracy in our country. But when the civil rights movement came along, he saw that as an uprising of the people. He stayed in power way too long, and he didn’t listen to his own critics. Therefore, his career ended on a failed note, in my opinion. So [Black’s] portrait of this man was a very complex one and a very interesting one.
What do you think is valuable and relevant about making this movie now?
I think [Black] put it best when he said, “Look, if we can better understand these people and their motivations, and how this ambition manifested itself [in] their politics, we can learn from them.” We can learn from history. To me, you couldn’t write a character like J. Edgar Hoover and have it be believable. [Laughs] I mean, he was a crock pot of eccentricities. We couldn’t even fit all his eccentricities into this movie. We could go on and on, but the fact [is] this man was, if not the most powerful man in the last century, one of the most [powerful] in our country, and he lived with his mother until he was 40 years old. He listened to his mother for political advice.
Do you find it ironic that a period piece about the government violating the individual’s right to privacy is opening in an era in which that is still a hot-button issue?
Well, it’s interesting in this day and age to do a film about espionage and wire-tapping. I don’t think that those types of secrets that J. Edgar Hoover was able to obtain and keep for such a long period of time would be possible in today’s [culture], you know, with the Internet [and] Wiki-leaks. This was a different day and age, and there were huge, catastrophic events that were going to happen if we didn’t have a federal police system like that investigating a lot of activities that were going on in our country. I mean, it’s an argument or a topic that people could talk about till they’re blue in the face … but I don’t think that J. Edgar Hoover would be able to do the same job in today’s era, with all this massive distribution of information in a matter of seconds.
Eastwood has a reputation for working very quickly. Did you ever have to do more than three takes of a scene?
We actually did a lot of takes on this movie. I never left the set wanting more, that’s for sure. This was a very, very difficult character for me … and at times, we went and did eight or nine or ten takes on a single day. Clint is very adaptable and has his process, and what he does is expect you to plant your feet and speak the truth, like James Cagney says, and that’s what we tried our best to do on this movie. He gave us everything we could possibly ask for as actors.
How did he pull that off?
He has almost like this splinter-cell unit of people on set, the bare minimum. It’s like an elite squadron of Marines that are there, and they sort of fade away, and that third wall disappears, and you start to feel like you’re actually submerged in reality and you’re really there. And it’s incredibly helpful as an actor to feel like you’re immersed in that environment.
Not bad for an 81-year-old director.
From an outsider’s perspective, it’s amazing what he does. I mean, if he’s not directing a film, he’s acting in it, or he’s composing the music for that film. And his commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It’s inspiring, actually.
Speaking of aging, how difficult was it to play Hoover as an old man nearing the end of his life with the assistance of elaborate makeup?
The challenge for me was not just the prosthetic work and how to move like an older man, it was more so how to have 50 years of experience in the workplace and talk to a young Robert F. Kennedy as if he was some political upstart that didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. That was a big challenge.
Are you worried that playing such a power-mad character will hurt your career?
No, not at all. I don’t have to empathize or sympathize with a human being in order to be able to play them. Some of the greatest roles that actors have been able to play haven’t been the most endearing onscreen.
Your efforts as an environmental activist have led to the establishment of the DiCaprio Foundation. Why is the environment important to you?
Why is it important to me? It’s important to everybody. I think that the environmental movement is the biggest people’s movement in the world. Unfortunately, our governments and our corporations haven’t responded accordingly to protect our planet’s natural resources. But ever since I was very young, I’ve been fascinated with nature, and I actually wanted to be a marine biologist when I was very young, and that was a great passion of mine. So I suppose in the off season when I’m not making movies, I became more and more active as an environmentalist and trying to be more vocal about issues that I felt were important, and I created my foundation as a result of that.
What specific environmental causes are you involved in at the moment?
Right now, the campaign that I’m involved in is to save the last remaining wild tigers throughout Asia. There [are] only 3200 left in the wild. There [are] more tigers in Texas in cages than there are tigers in the wild, and we’re at the risk of losing this iconic species for all time.
J. Edgar opens in limited release this Wednesday before expanding nationwide on Friday.

While promoting his new movie, Tower Heist, during a Q&amp;A session in Hollywood after a screening, a fan asked Brett Ratner what it was like to watch stars Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller and Casey Affleck rehearse. Ratner casually and obnoxiously responded to the inquiry with "Rehearsal? What's that? Rehearsal's for f*gs. Rehearsal. Not much. A lot of prep, preparation, complex action sequences, visual effects." Many found his comment to be obviously offensive, and yesterday Ratner issued an apology, stating "I apologize for any offense my remarks caused. It was a dumb and outdated way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller, I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words." What I find most amusing about this statement is how Ratner seems more sorry he came across as not being “trendy” or “hip” rather than for demeaning a sexual orientation.
But since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hired Ratner to produce the 2012 Academy Awards, one would think the director is now tasked with scrapping together some real remorse in order to keep himself in high regard with his employers. But AMPAS president Tom Sherak made it sound like they’ve already forgiven Ratner, saying “His remarks were inappropriate. He said it best in his apology, that his comments were dumb and insensitive. When you think of our community, it went against all the beliefs of the creative community we represent. He knew it was wrong and he issued that response as quickly as any human being ever has. The bottom line is, this won’t happen and can’t happen again. He apologized and we will move forward.” I don’t particularly agree with any of this either, because at no point in Ratner’s statement did he say what he said at the Q&amp;A session was “dumb,” and so Sherak comes across as someone who’s just trying to convince himself that even though he has a bit of gum in his hair, there could always be more (which, heeeeeeey, sounds a lot like the slogan of a director who makes Jackie Chan movies AND the motto of the Academy Awards!). We'll see if Ratner decides to expound upon his non-apology with actual sincerity but from the looks of it, nobody is pressuring him to do so.

CBS' newest hit, 2 Broke Girls, is welcoming a guest star to its not-so-Williamsburgy Williamsburg setting: Jennifer Coolidge, most renowned for her role in the American Pie movies, Stifler's Mom. Coolidge will play Sophie, a workaholic neighor to the starring pair of Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. No word yet on whether or not she'll play a friend or nemesis to the mismatched roommies, but we're going to bank on the latter, as the show seems to be embracing the "Max and Caroline vs. the World" motif. 2 Broke Girls airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. -Deadline
The surprise ratings wonder that was Once Upon a Time is attracting some formidable guest appearances, including a prominent West Wing alum. Richard Schiff, who played Toby Ziegler in Aaron Sorkin's White House drama, has earned a pretty high ranking in ABC's fairy tale world. He'll be playing King Leopold of the Enchanted Forest (not too shabby), and father of the show's heroine, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin). King Leopold will make his appearance on the eleventh episode of the season, complete with a gripping (and sad) backstory involving a few other folk tale favorites. Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. -TVLine
Jerry O'Connell has come a long way since his film debut as Vern Tessio in the unforgettable Stand by Me. The actor is now a new father, and was inspired by the humorous bedtime story Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach to create a sitcom chronicling the challenges of new parenthood. CBS has purchased the series, and O'Connell will star as well produce. Mansbach came onboard to help craft the series. From his personal experience came the additional character element of being a newly successful children's author and balancing career and family. -Deadline

You're never too old to fall in love. At the ripe age of 60-years-old, Robin Williams married graphic designer Susan Schneider in Napa Valley on Sunday at the luxurious Meadowood Resort. Like most celebrity weddings, it turned out to be quite the star-studded affair with rumored guests Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Billy Crystal, among others. Prior to the blessed event, Schneider, who heads up graphic design firm Critical Eye Design, told the San Francisco Chronicle she was "so excited and so thrilled" for the big day. So how did the happy couple meet? According to British paper The Guardian, the Hollywood veteran met Schneider shortly before undergoing heart surgery in 2009 and she took care of him while he was bedridden. I guess every cloud really does have a silver lining.
This is not Williams's first trek down the aisle...or even second trek for that matter. His first wife, Valerie, filed for a divorce in 1988 and his second wife, Marsha, finalized their divorce just last year after citing irreconcilable differences. Let's just hope that third time's the charm for Williams and Schneider. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

With the holiday season drawing near, our favorite Hollywood artists are trying to get us in the holiday spirit, and Justin Bieber made Christmas come early by premiering his holiday-inspired song, "Mistletoe," on Ryan Seacrest's radio show today. Complete with sleigh bells and Bieber cheer, Mistletoe gives everyone a glimpse of what’s to come with the tween heartthrob's full holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, which he claims is his “best album yet.” The pop singer also sat down with the American Idol host and spoke a little about all the top-notch celebrities he worked with to create the album, stating, “I worked with Boyz II Men. I worked with Usher. I worked with The Band Perry. I worked with a lot of cool people on the album and it turned out really well." This, of course, includes his duet with Mariah Carey in a remake of her now-classic holiday tune, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But while "Mistletoe" seems catchy enough, one can't help but notice a certain familiarity in the melody. Has Bieber been listening to a little too much Jason Mraz lately? Check out the audio below and see if you agree:

America doesn't have a royal family, but it has its equivalents: Queen Oprah, Prince Bono, and somewhere around the level of Dutchess, we have Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen is pretty much as beloved as a human being can be; thus, people are willing to invest some interest in almost anything she puts her name on. This is good news for ABC, as Ellen just signed on to produce a single-camera comedy called Weitz &amp; Wong.
The series will focus on an interracial married couple, their children, and their relatives; one side of the family is white and Jewish, the other is Chinese. The series will illustrate the family's comical struggle with their varying cultures and wildly differing families and customs, and will likely touch on the stigmas attached to interracial marriage. Alex Hershog, who wrote for DeGeneres' 90s sitcom Ellen, will also write for this new series.
In addition, Ellen is also developing a sitcom for NBC, starring her wife Portia de Rossi. It's an exciting prospect considering di Rossi is an incredibly adept comic actress whose outstanding performances as ambitious lawyer Nelle Porter on Ally McBeal, self-absorbed socialite Lindsay Fünke on Arrested Development, and cold-hearted businesswoman Veronica Palmer on Better Off Ted were each laugh-a-minute.
